CHATHAM, Mass. — The Chatham Athletic Association today announced its broadcast team for the 2025 Cape Cod Baseball League season. 

Jake Klein, a sophomore at Syracuse University, and Hudson Ridley, a junior at Syracuse, will provide play-by-play for every Chatham Anglers regular-season and postseason game on the Cape Cod Baseball Network. Their first live broadcast will be June 14 when Chatham hosts Falmouth.

“We’re proud to entrust our play-by-play positions to these two outstanding students,” CAA Media Consultant Dan D'Uva said.

“Jake and Hudson are bright, dynamic, well-rounded journalists who will continue our tradition of broadcast excellence. Their academic and extracurricular pursuits at Syracuse University demonstrate a passion for their craft. Their on-air enthusiasm, knowledge of the game and storytelling prowess promise a fun and informative listen every game.

“Jake’s deep Chatham A’s roots and Hudson’s fresh influence will stimulate our media team’s creativity and drive innovation that our fans will enjoy throughout the summer.”

Fans can enjoy all of Klein and Ridley’s broadcasts at no cost through Chatham’s long-time service provider TRZ Teamline.
